This is my team...

GKs - Cech, Myhill
DEFs - Jagielka, Baines, Coleman, Caulker, Kompany
MIDs - Sigurdsson, Ward-Prowse, Townsend, Eriksen, Lamela
STs - Dzeko, Costa, Wickham

My biggest gambles are Costa and Lamela. I always have to have three Spurs players in my side which is why Lamela is in, but I've just got a sneaky feeling about him this year.

Love to hear your thoughts on Ashley Young at left back btw? Ashley Young on a pitch is a bad decision in my eyes anyway, but at left back? Insanity.

Good squad, that. Considered Lamela myself, but felt at 8m he wasn't worth the risk. Wouldn't be surprised for him to do big things this year, though.

I've gone:

GKs: Howard, Krul
DFs: Terry, Chambers, Blackett, Hutton, Bruce
MIDs: Fabregas, Mata, Eriksen, Sterling, Wanyama
STs: Rooney, Sturridge, Krkic

He's been decent in pre-season, but I agreed with McManaman and Scholes that he's unfortunate today 'cos he's definitely not a LB.

All United fans are saying it, but if we can get Vidal, Di Maria/Cuadrado, Benatia/Rojo it would make a huge difference. I think we need a combo of 3 from that with Vidal an asbolute must.

Is that Alan Hutton you have there? He likes a red card.

Agree with you about Vidal and Di Maria as I reckon they would enhance your squad. I can't see the others adding much more than just making up the numbers.

He's having something of a renaissance is Mr. Hutton. His current clean sheet is something I could do with.

Millionaires kicking each other. Or pretending to be kicked. It's been fucked since Trevor Francis. A waste.

Quoted from Andrew He's having something of a renaissance is Mr. Hutton. His current clean sheet is something I could do with.

Still plenty of time to perform one of his trademark two footed tackles, followed up with a tirade of abuse aimed at the ref for rightly showing a red.

1) Liverpool


The rest doesn't matter

Everyone thought we couldnt challenge last year. This time we have a better squad - suarez accepted - and the same manager.

Man U already lost. Arsenal were behind. You can have all the possession you like but if you don't score who cares.

Bring it.

- Well stay the fu?k out of a thread dedicated to the beautiful game then. Heathen!

Got a chuckle out of your team's name, Andrew. Love it.

Thanks, man. That's probably my favourite character name of all time.

So Stevie is bring up the rear as it stands!

Seeing as it was a public invite I put in - and it looks like I'm 3rd already... top of my own  league too.

Should I point out MacVilla's bottom? No? Okay.

Prediction:

Arsenal
Man C
Liverpool
[insert team of choice here]
Spurs 5th as usual
Couple of other teams
Man U
everyone else.

Hey sink the boot into the Aussie!  

Only early doors yet so be warned...bitches!

Speaking of BOTTOM...how's the Man U view from down there, AA?  Lol

We're back !!!!

As Bill said

1 . Liverpool

Don't you boys ever learn, ignore us this year at your peril...
Andrew ...Good to see old Moyes back in the utd hot seat
Roy... should be a big year for Spurs mid table battle
And Stevie... Villa,  enough said.

; D

Mark

Absolutely welcome, Simon. I think it'll be competitive.

Stevie, I'm currently reading all the United in crisis articles to enjoy our resurgence even more when it happens!

Mark, did you see that Moyes article from yesterday? That bloke is seriously deluded and still refusing to take responsibility for what was an asbolutely unmitigated disaster.

Quoted from irish eyes Roy... should be a big year for Spurs mid table battle

Yikes, that's fightin' talk. I'll bet you ten pounds English money Spurs finish higher then Liverpool. Loser pays to the charity of the winners choosing???

I honestly think it just shows how good Sir Alex Ferguson was to always be getting the best out of a team of average players.

I'm just hoping this year the BBC football page decide to write some articles about other teams. All it was last year was about United's bad season, got old pretty quickly.

Van Gaal out I say. Might take a punt on him being gone by Christmas, especially if he doesn't buy anyone in the next couple of weeks.
